Shu vs Sheng

I begin to think that I am nearly the only member of this forum who actually likes Shu Puerh better than Sheng. Why do you prefer sheng to shu? Perhaps I simply haven't truly tried good sheng, but I don't think so? I have never tried a true aged sheng as they can cost big money.

You are not alone. It was shu pu-erh the first time I tried it. Much later I tried sheng but still I drink shu more often.

I tend to drink more shou cha than sheng cha. I usually stick to the bigger brands though as I think the quality is better than some lesser ones. If you want to see crazy check this link. http://steepster.com/mrmopar/cupboard. See If I have any shou cha...
